Story Behind this Recipe

These are great for times when you have a huge craving for sweet potatoes! I used the an-nouimo variety of sweet potato from Kagoshima. Since it's a sweet variety, I reduced the sugar to 20 g and 60 g. The sweetness was just right.

Helpful Hints

There's nothing much to it. Adjust the sugar to taste depending on the sweetness of the sweet potato.
